The Faribault Woolen Mill is a Minnesota icon. A major employer of Faribault residents for over 150 years, the business has faced highs and lows with support from the community. Its story is one of adaptation, opportunity, and passion.

In 2017, we released a documentary on the history of the Faribault Woolen Mill. For that documentary, we had the pleasure of interviewing Lisa M. Bolt Simons, author of Faribault Woolen Mill: Loomed in the Land of Lakes. Today, we share a few snippets from that interview.
